Job 12:7-12

American Standard Version

⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee;
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
⁹ Who knoweth not ^[a]in all these,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,
¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
And the ^[b]breath of all mankind?
¹¹ Doth not the ear try words,
Even as the palate tasteth its food?
^12 [c]With aged men is wisdom,
And in length of days understanding.
